Title: NIB IBM XT Board

http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-new-original-IBM-packing-5150-5160-pc-xt-keyboard-/260680519825?pt=PCA_Mice_Trackballs&hash=item3cb1c51091

At $275, I think I'll pass.  Not only the price, but there's just so much wrong with this listing.  Claims it's in the original packing, but no pictures.  A first time seller.  $50 for shipping.  Too short and strange description.  In all fairness, if it's the seller's first time to try to sell something on ebay, they might simply be ignorant of how to properly list their item.

But the title says "5150/5160", so that would rule it out from being a Model M.

Well, ok, you might be right there.  The color though says "Gray".  Maybe it's an industrial?

He's got a total of 5 items for sale, including some Selectric 3's and Wheelwriters, all without pics.

Later XTs were sold with the 1390120.
